This might sound reasonable, but when one takes the time to compare with scripture quite the contrary is discovered.  This is a major statement, with many assumptions.  First, is worship really an overflow of our actions?  Secondly, are we suppose to mainly worship God so that He can fill us up?  Lastly, is the ultimate reason for worship for the purpose of sending us out?  

           I am not entirely sure this person understands what they are saying.  But firstly I would encourage my readers and this person to see worship as "an end of itself!"  Worship is the consummation of our love for the glory and beauty of our God; therefore it is "always", whether here on earth or in heaven, is an end of itself.  I will explain a little more about this later.

             Furthermore, I would argue that the Psalms presents our worship as the overflow of our "affections" for God and not "actions" as Jason states it.  The bible portrays it is God who has an overflow of great and wonderful actions, like dying on the cross for sinners, and we seeing these amazing actions from God, whether by sight or faith, then from the overflow of our affections stream into worship of God.

          Consider Psalm 107:21, "Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!"  Here we worship God from the overflow our affections, for we are to be "thankful" as we think about God's good and wonderful "works."  There are many Psalms where their entirety are summed up as a reflection on the overflow of God's wonderful actions as the Psalmist overflows into worship upon meditating over them and then also calling us to do the same such as: Psalm 135, 136, 145 and many more.  In particular the Psalmist in Psalm 77 could not find the strength to worship his God until he finally remembered the "works of the LORD." (verse 11)  Therefore, I conclude our worship is an overflow of our affections upon placing our faith in all the wonderful things our Great God has done, and not the overflow of our actions. This means worship is to be an end of itself as an express of our thankful love to God, that's it!

          Secondly, worship is not to be used to "fill us up" to be refreshed so that we can be "sent out," although God does often refresh us in our expression of love to Him in our singing worship.  Yet, from our end if we approach worship like that it would dishonoring Him.  If you soul is down cast and burden we are to follow what the scriptures teaches us to do.  The Psalmist in Psalm 77 when his heart and thoughts where filled with trouble and pain took time to consider the wonderful actions of God.  So that for example if you are coming into corporate worship with a heavy heart then your goal should be to consider the gospel message in the songs, which are describing the wonderful works of God, and worship Him.  It is even good to ask God to refresh your heart as you consider His works and ask Him to forgive you for not worshiping Him as deeply as He deserves, but your "main" goal is to meditate on His works and "give thanks to God" just as the Psalmist instructs us to do.  As you do this you will find your soul is refreshed beyond your expectations, but only if you worship God in the way He has laid out for us by making worshiping Him an end of itself.

          For example: It would be as if a husband gave his wife flowers on their anniversary only to say: I love you - now refresh me to be sent out to be ready to work at my job to pay for our bills.  His expression of love should only be an end of itself, as an expression of his love to her, and not to get stuff from her!  This is how our worship to God should be.

          The problem about thinking the wrong way about this is that you will overemphasize corporate worship (etc.) believing it is the source of your power to be refreshed and live a life of practical worship[1] to God during the rest of the week. But what these people fail to realize is that not living a life of practical worship is a revealing of a far worse thing than poor corporate worship habits.

          See, worship, as corporate singing and as practical living is simply an expression of our love to God, as an end of itself.  Therefore, if you want your zeal to be increased for living your love to God better, then you need to do things that enlarge your heart and affections for God.  Accordingly, from an enlarged heart your affections will brim over into your singing and living worship, only then will it truly become an end of itself and so a sweet smelling offering to our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father.  This biblical doctrine is simple: as our love for God truly grows then our living worship is strengthened to be an ending expression of love to God as well. 

          Did not King David desire nothing more than to see the beauty of the Lord in His house?  Therefore, what we need is to be filled with the view of Christ's Beauty and Worth in the gospel and out of this it will flow into a pleasurable admiration back to God, of the radiance of His worth, which is consequently the essence of the pure act within the Trinity.  By this the church reflects not only the image of God but also the image of the Trinity, whose main act is the infinite pleasurable love expressed to one another in infinite personal energy.  The church does the same except, so that where as the members of Trinity express themselves in love as love the church expresses their love to God as worship.

          A lack of our living worship to God is evidence of our lack of love to God!   But this ultimately exposes a lack of regularly seeing the true splendor of our Lord Jesus Christ: this then is the heart of the matter (or the heart of worship) our vision of Christ is small and not biblical therefore, giving us small hearts to live out our love to Him in small worship.  Big hearts live big in both their singing and living worship to their beloved Savior.            

            But this is very convicting to our hearts is it not?  If we are living small in our weekly worship to God it is not because our corporate worship is lacking, but because we simply do not love God that much to begin with.  True, we might say we do.  But is not the reason for this because our hearts are overfilled not with affections for our God but for ourselves, our fame, and our playtime. Is not our hearts filled with worldly entertainments?  Do we not love them very much?  See, the Holy Scriptures are very true when they say your heart is where your treasures are.  Indeed, our hearts love this world therefore, the weekly treasure of our actions are spent more often there than with the King of Glory in worship. The question is whether we are willing to do what the Psalmist did and meditate on the wonderful and glorious works of our God and Savior so that we may spill over with loving and thankful affections for Him, so that our treasures are both spent and invested in action to Christ Jesus. 

          Are you willing dear readers?  Or will you wait so long that the time will come when you just don't care anymore, because your true colors have been exposed showing that you never really loved Christ will all your heart to begin with, because you were never born again and are still in your sins with God's wrath resting on you.

          Thirdly, Jason was wrong by saying we worship so that God can send us out.  As what was said before, going out into the world to fulfill the command of Jesus in preaching His gospel and in this helping the broken and hurting (living worship) is at its core similar to our singing worship.  Both are an expression of our love for our God and ultimately are only to be an end of itself.

            One of the more glaring reasons why we know this is true becomes clear when we consider heaven and our worship there.  There will be no more hurting people, pain or need for evangelism, what then will become of all those persons who worshiped God "only" so that God can send them out?  Will they want to be sent of out heaven or from God's presence?  Will they have to be re-institutionalized in what worship is suppose to be at that point?  Can worship really be one thing now, and something totally different in heaven when in heaven the worship songs are worded the same as they are now as the book of Revelation shows?  The book of Revelation shows our worship in Heaven as an, end of itself, expression of love and thankfulness toward our awesome and merciful God and this leads us also to worship God today in the same manner.

          Therefore, dear saints of God, fill your soul with big thoughts and delightful meditations of the great and wonderful things our Lord Jesus Christ has done when He walked that painful Calvary road for sinners like you and I bringing to us the salvation from heaven.  By this may your hearts overflow like a fountian with living and singing worship to the God you profess you love so dearly, if indeed you have not believed in vain..

God's grace be with you in Christ the Lord, Amen.

 [1] What I mean by this is living in daily action in love to God and secondly to your fellow mankind.  To continually offer your body as a living sacrifice to God as Romans 12 verse 1 describes it.   In other words to offer your thoughts, affections, actions, time, work, and play to God for He wants to be done with them in Christ Jesus our Lord.
